The Rock Island road has just adopted
what is known as the one shovel system
for firing locomotives. Instead of filling
the fire box with coal at intervals the
fireman will be required to put in one
shovelful of coal about every half min
ute. It is an economic measure and one
which largely decreases the smoke nui
sance. The road may save nearly $80-
ooo a year by this change in firing
methods.
Our stock of Watches is
complete. LEACH , The

Succumbed to Despondency.
The Omaha correspondent of the Lin
coln Journal of last Friday contains the
following account of the suicide of An
drew McG. Robb , who , in the early eight
ies , was Supt. Campbell's private secre
tary :
Andrew M. Robb , aged sixty years ,
committed suicide at an early hour this
morning at his home , 2764 Lake street ,
by shooting himself in the head with a
revolver. Death was instantaneous. He
had complained to his wife last evening
that he was feeling unwell , and said that
he was suffering from pains in the head.
At 5 o'clock this morning he awoke and
told his wife that he was hungry. She
went into the pantry to get something
to appease his hunger , and when she re
turned she found him dead on his cot.
She did not hear the shot , although it
was from a thirty-eight calibre revolver.
Neighbors were aroused at once and a
physician summoned , but to no purpose.
Robb has been soliciting for an insur
ance company , but has not been success
ful of late , and is believed to have shot
himself in a fit of despondency.
